[TheForge] RE: cranes -- Unistrut

[David E. Smucker]

Unistrut has long been the standard for mounting of industrial electrical 
boxes, cable ways etc.  It is a great hardware "system".  I didn't know they 
had the trolley systems -- rather neat -- I can think of lots of place to 
use in my shop.  Like over the lathe, over the milling machine,  over the 
steel rack, over the swage block, power hammer and anvil.  It is getting to 
the point where I like to use a chain hoist or come-a-long for lifting most 
anything over 60 or 70 pounds.  No longer do I like to lift that 6 inch 
milling machine vise by myself.

Thanks for the information.

Dave
